Discover Southern Africa
From bush to coast.
We design bespoke Southern African journeys through trusted family connections. Authentic, safe, and deeply felt.
Deep roots & local insights
Ours is a story rooted in Southern Africa, in the red dust, golden light, and the quiet pulse of the wild.
Tim was born and raised there, and his life has been shaped by a deep love for the African bush. With decades in the tourism industry, including being part of the founding of Wilderness Safaris, his knowledge of wildlife and his natural warmth have made him a trusted host and storyteller of the land.
We first became a family through the bush itself, when Tim met my mother, they spent two years writing letters from camp to camp before we all came together under the vast African sky. For a time, we lived there as a family, surrounded by nature, community, and the heartbeat of the wild.
That shared love for Africa has stayed with us. Today, we’re combining our experience, creativity, and deep local connections to craft journeys that go far beyond the ordinary.
Through our family’s network across Southern Africa, we design travel experiences that are personal, meaningful, and deeply felt, filled with those aha moments, quiet wonders, and memories that stay with you for a lifetime.
What we are really good at:
Families on Safari
Safe, meaningful adventures for families and children.
We know firsthand what it takes to travel Africa with kids, from the rhythm of safari days to the joy of seeing wildlife up close. These trips are designed to be safe, seamless, and full of wonder. Think family-friendly lodges, shorter drives, and magical encounters that spark curiosity and connection.
Couples on Safari
Luxury, privacy, and connection in the wild.
For those seeking something quieter, romantic lodges under starlit skies, fireside dinners, and moments of stillness in breathtaking landscapes. Each itinerary balances comfort with authenticity, bringing you close to nature while wrapped in luxury.
Journeys After Retirement
For those ready to travel deeper.
With decades of experience in African travel, we design journeys that balance comfort, safety, and authentic adventure, ideal for those entering a new chapter of freedom and exploration. Whether it’s a dream safari long postponed, a return to Africa, or a slow, soul-stirring journey through its wild and beautiful places, we take care of every detail so you can simply experience, feel, and enjoy.
Our favourite places:
01
Capetown with Kids
A vibrant, family-friendly city that balances nature, culture, and adventure. From Table Mountain hikes to penguin encounters at Boulders Beach, Cape Town is a place where children can explore, learn, and be inspired, while parents enjoy the natural beauty and lively food and culture scene.
02
Unreal Safari Encounters
Nestled in the Greater Kruger region, Simbavati River Lodge offers intimate, private safaris where wildlife encounters feel magical and personal. With our insider knowledge, we can guide you to the best lodges, the safest drives, and the times and places where wildlife is most active — creating an experience that’s both thrilling and deeply felt.
03
Safari on the beach
A private and exclusive barefoot beach camp on a rare, untouched stretch of coastal wilderness in Mozambique’s southernmost national park. Designed with the smallest possible footprint to preserve the land, the camp sits under canvas and thatch, blending seamlessly with the surrounding dunes and forest. Just 10 Casinhas are nestled on stilted wooden decks, each with its own stretch of pristine beachfront — the perfect place to unwind, connect with nature, and feel the magic of Africa’s wild coast.
Your Questions, Answered
How do you make trips safe for children or first-time travellers?
We know Africa with kids and families because we’ve done it ourselves. From child-friendly lodges and gentle game drives to clear guidance on safety and comfort, we plan every detail so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
What makes your trips different from other travel providers?
Our advantage is experience, three generations of Southern African travel expertise. We combine local knowledge, insider connections, and family insight to create journeys that go beyond the ordinary, with real places, real people, and moments that stay with you.
Do you only arrange safaris?
Not at all. While safaris are a big part of what we do, we also plan coastal escapes, city explorations (like Cape Town), diving and ocean adventures, and bespoke cultural experiences — all guided by your interests and pace.
How do we know our trip will be authentic and not overly touristy?
We rely on our family network of trusted local operators, guides, and lodges. This allows us to create experiences that are authentic, immersive, and thoughtfully curated — from secret watering holes to private beach camps.
How much of the itinerary is flexible?
Everything is tailored to you. We work with you to balance structure and flexibility, ensuring you can enjoy both planned experiences and spontaneous discoveries.
What exactly do you take care of when planning a trip?
We handle all the key elements of your journey: designing the itinerary, booking lodges and accommodations, recommending restaurants, and arranging activities, excursions, and safari experiences. Our goal is to make travel seamless, so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
